Where did the idea come from to name their company bungie?

I am pretty sure it was from a dirty joke.

I think this was the dirty joke. The only difference is replace the word "Poontah" to "Bungie".

NOTE: It is a dirty joke, so it isn't for the feint of heart.

Legend says that "Bungie" is the punchline to a dirty joke.

EDIT: Dammit, monkey.

Okay, so these 3 explorers go exploring in South America. They come across an ancient, warlike civilization who immediately capture them and bring them to their leader, Alex. Alex, the ancient South American warlike civilization's leader, presented these trespassers with 2 options. Death, or Bungie.

These explorers didn't know what in God's name Bungie was, but they knew it must be better than death. So the first Explorer, Ignacious Blackwell, says "Bungie".

The citizens proceed to blank him to within an inch of his life, leaving him on the ground next to his companions; broken and screaming for help.

The second man, Oliver Willisburyman, sees this gruesome sight, but still doesn't wish to die. He, too chooses Bungie, and has said ritual applied to him in an even more vigorous manner than his companion.

The final man, Walter Googensbrooke, had seen enough. He'd seen the Hell his fellow explorers had gone through, and how disfunctionally they now lay. He announced loudly, and proudly that Death must be the better way to go.

Alex, the civilizations leader, smirked. He then yelled loudly, "Very well... Death... BY BUNGIE!!!!"

Edit: I took out the offensive word...

Citizens of Me! The cruelty of the old Pharaoh is a thing of the past. Let a whole new wave of cruelty wash over this lazy land.

Hear the word of Pharaoh. Build unto me a statue of ridiculous proportion. One billion cubits in height......that I might be remembered for all eternity!

And be quick about it!

Good question.

I acknowledge my user name is stupid. However, I promise I'm not.

Disclaimer: The latter is a lie.

I'm not sure why I named it that at the time. I'm going to change it soon, however :)

The Dirty joke as well as the true reason Bungie is named Bungie is a closely guarded secret ment only for the eyes of the heir...I have said too much, let us hope that the Soul is among the listeners of this dreaded conversation...
